Management of the University of Ilorin has expelled a 100-level student for allegedly demanding a ransom from parents of a missing colleague.
This was contained in the weekly bulletin of the university, signed by its Director of Corporate Affairs, Kunle Akogun, on Monday.
The student was identified as Olanrewaju Abdulkabir Abdulkadri with matriculation number 22/52HL004 from Department of Information Technology, Faculty of Communication and Information Sciences.
Also, the university rusticated a 400-level student, Segun Micheal Oyewole, for allegedly beating a fellow female student.
